Interview Experiences
6 rapid fire 3:1 interviews, one of which is with the current PGY-2s. Very quick interview day; finished after lunch, no needless waiting around.
7-8 interview, tour, lunch
Very nice, efficient, organized, easy. The residents were the most enthusiastic, outgoing, friendly, and forthcoming of all places I've been (>10), and they were happy. Interviews were very easy - six 10 minutes interviews, each with 3 people.
Very well organized. Multiple 12 minute interviews with 3 faculty per interview. All knew my application well and were very prepared with questions.
Excellent setup. 4 Short interviews with meaningful questions. Tour of Atlanta and facilities gave a great way of seeing the city.
All day interview on Saturday or Sunday (all applicants come over one weekend with dinner the night between) Interview day was divided into 2 sections: a round of rotating 6 or so 10 minute interviews with faculty (2-3 at a time), and a van/foot tour of t
efficient interview with 6x 3on1 interviews, done by lunch
6? interviews with 2-3 faculty at each interview, and one is a resident interview. Nice people, fairly rigid interview experience.
Great presentation, tour, and short series of rapid-fire 3-on-1 interviews.
Presentation early in the morning, then several (7?) 2 or 3 on 1 panel interviews, followed by a van tour.

Program Disadvantages
Long hours. Not a lot of time to read. No built in research or elective time.
hospitals are spread out, resident are busy so not much time for studying
More of an advantage: Lectures Fri from 7-noon. Great program for hands on, patient-centered learning with less emphasis on book time (scores on standardized tests are superb).
Poor ancillary staff leads to significant inefficiency in clinic
none
Very busy and diverse pathology, can be a pretty hectic call
extremely long days, some residents seem tired, days typically start around 7:30 and can go as long as 8:30 pm, with several days even longer, average time of finishing is 6:30
Atlanta might not be for everyone, but otherwise this is a near-perfect program.
Residents may be some of the hardest worked in the country thanks to Grady. Long hours and may not get out of the program what you put in, in terms of surgical training.
busy call - 2 years primary. The county hospital is a bit of a drive and the residents are extremely busy there (work till 7pm). During my interview they discouraged my research interest.
